US Marines always fight with COMBINED ARMS, meaning they always fight with infantry, tanks, and artillery together. When they landed in Vietnam in 1965, they naturally brought their tanks with them. Upon seeing this, US Politicians said to the Army, "...I thought you said that terrain wasn't suitable for tanks...?" The Army replied, "...we'll start sending some over..," US Tanks were outstanding in surviving land mine explosions, and machinegun bullets bounced off them just beautifully! South Vietnam is just like California; Rice fields in the Sacramento Valley (Mekong Delta in Vietnam), Sierra Nevada Mountains (Central Highlands in Vietnam), and large cities (Hue, Quang Tri, Da Nang, Tay Ninh, etc. in Vietnam). Tanks have gotten stuck in the mud in California during manuevers at Fort Ord, Fort Hunter-Liggett, Camp Pendleton, Camp Roberts, or even Fort Irwin. So anyone who says tanks can't operate in Vietnam...will have to say that tanks can't operate in California either.
